The Road to SS Hundies: June 2008
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Monday, June 2, 2008. Well, here it came and here it went. I don't want to talk much about it, but suffice to say, that I stupidly opted not to gear down and rode my normal 32X18, which combined with my lack of fitness at this point in the season, proved to be a bad bad choice. I thought I ran out of gas by the aid station #2 at mile 34, but was convinced by my buddy not to quit. By mile 46 at station #3 I was completely out of it, and thought I was about to die right there.

The Road to SS Hundies: Wheel overlap - bad!
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2008/09/wheel-overlap-bad.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Sunday, September 28, 2008. Wheel overlap - bad! So it's not a hundie, it's called a century. This weekend I joined a group of friend on MS150 City-to-Shore Multiple sclerosis fund raiser ride. It's set up as a 75 mile ride on Saturday from Philly area to Ocean City NJ, and 75 mile ride back on Sunday. However, on Saturday there is an optional 25 mile loop, to make it a full century, and a 175 mile weekend. Last year, and in black and white version this year. I did not want to hit...

The Road to SS Hundies: January 2008
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Friday, January 11, 2008. One of the hazzards of a park in the middle of the city is that some parts of it are on top of old construction left over dumps, or park used city rejected fill to "fix" the trails at some point in the past. Other than that, it's too wet again to go out on the trails. Withdrawal. Friday, January 4, 2008. Don't send the rescue party out yet! The ride was awesome! Ok, so tonight we'll try it again! The registration is open for all the NUE series races. ...

The Road to SS Hundies: October 2007
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Wednesday, October 10, 2007. Well, I workin private sector, but for some reason my company decided to honor the day, and close the office. Score! The weather was perfect, unbelievable for October, in fact. I tried to rally some friends to ride with, but in the end only one buddy, who works from home was able to get away to join me for a part of the ride. But no worries, any ride on Monday, when everyone else is working ROCKS! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). For the last 8 or so years ...

The Road to SS Hundies: More detailed report from SM100
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2008/09/more-detailed-report-from-sm100.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Tuesday, September 2, 2008. More detailed report from SM100. The start was even more chaotic than last year. I heard that last year there were just over 300 riders and this there were 530. Wow. So we finally rolled off, and continued up the first long dirt road climb, at the top there was the usual bunch up at the beginning of the slightly technical single track. So many people didn't know how to ride dirt. First aid station came and went very quickly at mile 10. Next stretch was ...

The Road to SS Hundies: May 2008
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Tuesday, May 27, 2008. Wow, it's been a really really long time since the last update. But finally there is something to report. We are leaving for our first 100-miler of the season this Friday. Well, it will be first one for me and Max, but not the first one for Harlan. Who looks like will be driving up with us, and had done the Cohutta 100 already. The only hope it to gear down to 32X20 from my normal 32X18. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Road to SS Hundies: Hit the road...
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2008/09/hit-road.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. So last night I finally got together with my buddy Chris, who's lending me his airborne for the MS150 ride in three weeks, for a first road ride. Well, technically, it's not my first, but, maybe 3rd, and the first two were far in between and at least 4 years ago! So yeah, for all practical purposes it was my first. What can I say about it? We did just over an hour ride at average speed of just under 19 mph, for a 22 mile loop. At least for me SSing.

The Road to SS Hundies: September 2007
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Tuesday, September 25, 2007. This will be a quick one, but I wanted to mention the TM day we has this past weekend! Over the last 3 months our local MTB club has been gathering momentum on various TM projects, and with help of other local more established groups, we are going places now! We scoped the location and set the goal, made plans, and prepared. But I still had some doubts about how it would all turn out. It was a rather ambitious project. Here are some pictures. We went o...

The Road to SS Hundies: Broken axle update
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2008/09/broken-axle-update.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Tuesday, September 16, 2008. Sent them email last night with pictures around 8:30 PM. Was going to follow up with a phone call this morning, but by 8:50 I had an email from them. The email said that it shouldn't have happened, and they suspect a bad grain structure in the metal of the axle. Asked for my shipping address, stating that the replacement is on it's way under warrantee. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Philadelphia Mountain Biking Association.

The Road to SS Hundies: March 2008
http://dzm3.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
The Road to SS Hundies. Monday, March 17, 2008. It's been a very long time since last post. I've been busy with regular everyday life things. I've tried to keep up regular riding, and for the most part I did, but unfortunately the quality and quantity has not been what I would like it to be. Rides been too easy and too short, especially in the last month or so. In other news, about a month or so ago, my buddy Max and I had registered for our three 100-milers this summer, Mohican.
